Re:Doing it for real (Score 1)

Actually the Murray's article says the exact opposite. It says as speeds increase pure hp matters less and less, and aerodynamic properties of the design more and more. I read the article quite a while ago, but I distinctly remember that point. It also makes a lot of sense to me, back in college i learned in physics that drag is preoperational to area of cross-section perpendicular to motion and the speed with which the body is moving.
